The Budapest Panorama was added to the World Cultural Heritage List by UNESCO. On your stay in the Hungarian metropolis, you can experience this unique view, while dining on a cruise with music on the Danube!

The Danube, this very important and mighty river starting in Germany, flows through many capitals on its journey to the Black sea. In Budapest, it runs majestically through the center of the city, creating one of the finest panoramas on the continent. The Danube’s embankment treasures the old and embraces the new. Here, history mingles with modernity. Budapest has many faces - this vibrant city calms down a little bit at nights, lights are lit up, and a new city emerges in the twilight.

You are invited to take part in this 1,5-hour-long cruise with a concert including the most popular classical melodies. The programme combines a dinner with romantic candlelight atmosphere and a concert on the Danube Cruise Ship. The salon music is performed by 3 members of the Zoltan Kodaly awarded Hungaria Orchestra, including the world-famous violinist Zsigmond Vidak, who was awarded the Merit Cross of the Hungarian Republic. The music is played by a violin, a viola and a double bass.

During this cruise and concert, you can have a delicious warm buffet-dinner- prepared by world champion food sculptor Attila Tanács. After the concert, you can also admire the panorama from the open upper deck of the ship. All of our ships are air-conditioned/heated.

Dinner & Cruise® meeting point: Meeting point is in the Duna Palota. Please be at the cash-desk in The Danube Palace (Duna Palota) by 18:30 the latest. Address: Zrinyi u. 5.

Folk Ensemble (Orchestra)

The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble (Budai Vigadó), the Danube Folk Ensemble and Rajkó Folk Ensemble (in the Danube Palace) are three of the best Hungarian folk ensembles with the longest tradition. All three ensembles consist of around 30 artists.

The first ensemble was formed in 1951, and the second ensemble in 1957. Their choreographies are based on authentic dances. Some of them were collected in isolated villages and date back hundreds of years. Through the performed dances you can get a broad view of the music, dance and costume heritage of Hungary and the Hungarian inhabited areas.
